Welcome!

Functional Medicine Health Coach

Are you struggling to cut out sugar, gluten, and/or dairy? Or perhaps because of your chronic illness, you are embarking on a more restrictive diet such as the Autoimmune Paleo Protocol. Whatever the case, if you are feeling overwhelmed of managing symptoms along with cooking and eating differently than those around you, then I can help.

I specialize in working with your unique healing diet.

I know all too well how difficult it can feel to commit to an alternative way of eating, and how isolating an experience this can be. Working together, you will discover how to love food again without feeling deprived.

Eating in a way that is truly nourishing to you CAN be pleasurable.

I look forward to helping you repair your health, restore your joy, and revive your creativity through coaching and cooking.
I honor you for taking an active role in reclaiming your health and life.

I celebrate eating for health and embrace cooking
as nutrition in action.

A lot of the work that I do with clients focuses on: 

  • customized diet for symptom reduction/reversal 

  • pain relief 

  • eradication of cravings

  • lowering inflammation

  • simplifying meal planning and prepping 

  • enjoy eating again without feeling deprived 

  • fostering emotional resilience 

  • cultivating inner peace around flare-ups and life changes

I serve those who are committed to their healing through paleo based allergen-free diets and their lifestyle with functional medicine health coaching, nutrition consulting, culinary education and private cooking lessons.

As a certified nutrition consultant, professional chef, and educator, I celebrate eating for health. I am also a strong advocate of the farm-to-table movement and whole-heartedly believe in food as medicine.

I am experienced with a wide variety of diets—from vegan and vegetarian to Paleolithic and Autoimmune Paleo Protocol and I delight in cooking with a keen nutritional lens and help people cook and eat in a way that honors your health, freedom, creativity, and enjoyment within their unique allergen-free diet.

If you feel drawn, please book an initial session where we will begin to map out your customized pathway back to health. This first session is half off. ($111)

Current pricing:

$225 per session

5 session package for $1,100.00

10 session package for $2,000.00 (comes out to $200 per session)


What I share with my clients is my own personal empowerment experience through transcending my health struggles as well as the culmination of 20+ years of study, research, and ongoing training. I look forward to helping you recover your body’s innate wisdom.

The gateway to healing is nourishing your body and your soul.

 
 

Working with Angela has been a delight and was an essentially supportive thing for me in my healing journey. I was diagnosed with an immune condition and had to make dramatic shifts in my diet while also continuing my healing journey through PTSD. There's a lot of stuff about food details and what and how to eat that Angela has good taste for and excellent tips to share.

There's also so many more dimensions of my relationship to food, food and family and community, food as love and communication, food in my future, and many more complexities. Angela gets them all and provides supportive coaching on a soul level from a trauma informed perspective. I would highly recommend her.

About Chef Angela

 

Here’s what I have learned about my own journey of transcending chronic illness and trauma- triggers and struggles are opportunities. This realization is an ongoing inspiration throughout my work, both with myself and others.  I’ve also learned that transcending trauma looks different for everyone.  

My deep desire is to be a safe companion, to act as your champion, and support you through your process of healing. I am here as your trusted guide to help you recover the innate wisdom of your body. One thing I know for sure is this path of growth and transformation is infinitely better when shared. 

For me, being a health coach means being a soul activist. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or have symptoms of chronic illness, those are outcomes of metabolic and cellular dysfunction and of the ongoing strain of our capitalist culture. Together, we will find ways to counterbalance the pressures and the drain that living in modern society has had on your body and your authentic being. I support individuals in navigating trauma, uncovering profound insight, reconnecting to their body’s inherent intelligence and revealing the beauty of their existence.  The aim of my work is all about helping you return to and reclaim wholeness, delight and feeling deeply nourished by your life.

Together, we embrace a soulful approach to health by empowering you to live fully alive- with peace and authenticity.

I am redefining health as wholeness. Wholeness is not just diet and lifestyle, I often find that including inner work is the missing link. Wholeness is coming back to ourselves and to a sense of resilience and deep presence no matter what the circumstances.

 
 

We will cook together and talk about nutrition and other practical self-care practices. I will help you design a unique and customized pathway back to health so that your body can feel like an ally in creating a fulfilling life. Approaching your healing from a soul perspective will truly make everything else you might want support with that much easier. When you shift your paradigm and learn to nourish your body, heart, and soul in a way that truly honors who you are, you basically can’t get it wrong. 

 
 

Angela is a wonderful health coach and nutritionist. She is not only a good teacher but she has compassion and is a strong supporter of change.

When I first met Angela I was newly retired and lost. Despondent really. Angela's willingness to walk my walk with me unearthed new ideas and ways to improve myself and communication in general.

I now have hope for the future and an exuberance for life that I had lost.

Mary Kelly, Scottsdale, Arizona

Angela is a gem and delightful to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable about food, special diets and how to use both to help improve your health. She easily assesses your needs, what could get in your way and matches the work with where you are at.

She is gentle, supportive and nudges for change when needed. She is also a very creative chef with many recipes and food preparation ideas to share. I am deeply grateful for Angela’s experience, wisdom, kindness and sense of fun as she guided me on this journey.

Mary C, Canada

Chef Angela is truly gifted in her kind, gentle, informative approach.

She is a master at putting nutritional puzzle pieces together. She has worked with my family and I on gathering info and assessing where we could make some gradual dietary changes that are beneficial but not too overwhelming. She takes the shame out of recognizing eating habits and is understanding of "real life" diets.

I'm so thankful to have Chef Angela guiding me on this journey. Her expertise is priceless.

Jessica Wilson, The Conscious Stepmom

I loved the experience of meeting others and getting to know them, whilst enjoying absolutely delicious and nutritious food, and learning, all at the same time. It was a rich and inspiring experience.

I have some great new ideas of ways to prepare food at home. I feel that Angela's classes would be extremely enjoyable to anyone, but in particular for those who have specific restrictive diets, this is such a treat.

Thank you Chef Angela!
